Helloo I've just found out I'm having a boy and I really want a unusual but not too crazy name.. I've come across the name Lexen, pernounced Lex-son or Lex for short and would really appreciate some honest feedback about what you think of the name.. Thanks p.s I also like the name Lucas but I think that's just the 'safer' option?

I think it works, it does of course conjure up images of lex luther, although that's not too bad!

Lucas is obviously more mainstream, other options might be:

  • Lexon (so that google brings up a design company rather than a juicing machine)
  • Lucien/Lucian (Loo-shiun or Loo-seeun)
  • Lucan (although Lord Lucan connotations)
  • Lenon
  • Lester
  • Loki
  • Lachlan
  • Lennox
  • Lathan
  • Lucius
  • Laslo
  • Lance
  • Lorenzo
  • Leith


Or just Lexen!

Sounds like an energy company, sorry, Lex on its own would be fine.

Lucas is a good solid name, maybe not very original now.

From twentyfourcarat's list, like Lucien and Lucius.

Just looked elsewhere, Lynx (apart from deodorant connotations) would be an exotic choice?

I meant it sounds like a brand of laxatives.

Sounds like a made up name. Call him Alexander, nn Lex.

How about Maxen? It's Welsh.

Sounds like either a cleaning product or electric company, sorry.

I like the idea of Alexander, nn Lex.
